At the Yokohama Arena, not the Tokyo Dome on December 8. Sad, this news, but when you scale down like this, it means usually one thing; you don't have confidence you'll sell out (or come close to filling) the Big Egg.
Tournament matches:
Jerome Le Banner vs. Choi Hong-Man
Semmy Schilt vs. Glaube Feitosa
Badr Hari vs. Remy Bonjasky
Peter Aerts vs. Junichi Sawayashiki

Not surprising at all. There are still some quality fighters in that lineup, but the days of Ernesto Hoost, Andy Hug (RIP) and even Aerts' prime are long gone.

I was a huge K1 fan but after some shady going ons during matches by the refs and obvious fixed bouts it just became a joke.
K1 as an organization is now closer to wwe than a true kickboxing organization. Here in LA i sometimes watch local kickboxer that they have on cable.
